Top 5 Dumbest Things Going on This Forum

Post by JackofDiamonds »

Rank 'em if you got 'em.

1) Anything to do with Religion or Politics. No one has convinced anyone to change their mind on anything ever on this forum.
2) Small sample size proclamations - also calling for ridiculous trades/demotions/waivers/executions mid-game
3) Anything to do with telling someone their tastes in drinks/food/clothes/lifestyle is/are either too snobbish or too unrefined.
4) 10 page threads between two-three people who just take turns saying the same thing in increasingly condescending language.
5) Anything to do with me that's not about how great I am.


11) Anti-spoiler campaign

1 - Game threads when the Cardinals lose
2 - Game threads when the Cardinals win
3 - Snobs vs Slobs arguments (33 vs Jim/FBD)
4 - Ironic and/or superstitious "______'s Season Is Over" threads
5 - Hyperventilating about the Cubs or the amount of attention the Cubs get from media.
6 - That time everyone had a hot take about David Spade.

There isn't enough going on to [expletive] about, but from the past:
1. boners & fears over the Cubs - Kris Bryant, Theo Joe Maddon oh my!
2. Zeus' ruthless censorship of the babes thread
3. wordy use of metrics/stats for something that is common sense in baseball (frankly doesn't happen too often)
4. threads that are too vast in subject matter - movies, TV thread etc.
5. Leroy

So many good ones already taken, so I'll add to what hasn't been said:

1. Preachy people (ok, I guess there's been variations of this)
2. Any time someone says something like "we should trade Grichuk for a 3.0 WAR SP" without ever giving a name
3. Whenever anyone tries to dethrone Socnorb for The Last Word, regardless of where I stand on the argument
4. The reflex to reply to posts with a Youtube clip of some song no one's cared about in 30 years
5. No other Pelicans fans
